Gum Disease. Treatment for gingival problems will vary based on the extent of the condition. Mild gingivitis could be treated with scaling and root planing, whereas advanced periodontitis may require surgical intervention. Since each mouth is different, no one answer fits every situation. Let your dentist explain the extent of your problem and recommended treatment.

Gum disease. Once you are diagnosed with gum disease, you will first have a full mouth periodontal charting (charts the bone levels). Next you will have scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) where needed. After this you should return to your dentist in 4-6 weeks for evaluation of healing. If you have persistent periodontal pockets deeper than 5 mm, your doctor may recommend periodontal surgery.

Exam to start. You need a dental exam to determine your periodontal status. Treatment then a treatment plan is developed to treat your degree of gum disease. Dentist then do what some call phase therapy. You start with basic treatment (cleanings) and then, after a time, we reevaluate your response. We then recommend other treatment if indicated. After active treatment, you get cleanings on a frequent basis.

Infection control. Bacteria cause gum disease under the gum tissue, which is hard to reach. The best way to control the bacteria is to use something like the perio protect method that delivers a hydrogen peroxide gel (1.7%) into the region. This kills the bacteria that cause the infection and makes it so harmful bacteria cannot regrow in this area.

YES. Remove all the toxins from the tooth surfaces and gum disease is cured. A dentist, or dental hygienist, can remove the tartar and plaque off the teeth that house the bacteria responsible for gum disease. You may also required antibiotics or oral medicines to achieve the best results.
